​The Guided Self-Certification is a monitoring method where a Registered Entity completes a self-assessment of its compliance with applicable Standards and Requirements, and submits substantiating evidence validating compliance.

The entity will complete a Guided Self-Certification by answering questions provided by ReliabilityFirst.

ReliabilityFirst will review the responses and evidence provided, to ensure that any risk to the Bulk Power System has been addressed, and to ensure the entity is compliant with the Requirement.

ReliabilityFirst will also provide possible process improvements and guidance to the entity, when appropriate.

ReliabilityFirst created a Guided Self-Certification Guide for Registered Entities, contained in the document library below.
